About this listen
Set in the glittering technological future of the year 2526. Where sentient robots live and work alongside their human counterparts, and in a Solar System burgeoning with trade, commerce and activity, Plutonian Sun is an intriguing detective story exploring life and death on the furthest frontier of mankind’s expansion.
Pluto Police detective Erwin Flecknoe is weary, living in the domed Sagan City, the most distant outpost from Earth, his life has become mundane. Pondering whether he should return to his home five billion kilometers away and feeling restless and bored, when he and his robot partner Pye are tasked to investigate a young woman’s death on one of the space stations, he was not particularly enthusiastic. But as the investigation uncovers an obsolete explosive, the wreck of a terrorist’s ship and a surprising perpetrator, Flecknoe and Pye are embroiled in a race against time as they try to untangle this puzzle.

Pretty interesting premise, well told.
I listened on Audible - the author's voice was very clear. He told the story well, despite the complexity of the story. That was a plus.
Interesting take on SF

The way I saw this book was like a Cormoran Strike in space. But the writing and performance are absolutely nowhere near Rowling or Glenister. Although I came to accept it, the lack of any kind of change in the narrator's voice for depicting different characters made it hard to follow some of the more complicated dialogues. His performace was acceptable, borderline good, but this flaw or lack of expansion needs addressing. Some of the characters were a bit weak but I'd actually look forward to listening to another of these tales as I actually found it enjoyable, if a tad frustrating on more than one occasion.
Promise shown, maybe the next book is the one?

As to the science being weak ... any SF reader willingly suspends disbelief if the story and the writing are both good, but that's not the case here.
The narration wasn't terrible, but there were too many instances of emphasis on the wrong word.
Overall, disappointing.
Thin plot, poor writing, weak science
